SAW-SET.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Mar. 23, 1920.

Application filed June 24, 1919. Serial No. 305,286.

To all whom it may concern:

Tie it known that T, LEON L. KAIsnn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Tmlay, in the county of Humboldt and State of Nevada, have invented new and useful Improvements in Saw-Sets, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has reference to an improved construction of saw sets, and has for its primary object to simplify and improve the existing art by producing a device of this character which shall be of an en tremely simple nature, embodying a combination and operative arrangement of parts wherein circular saws of different widths may be set in an easy and expeditions in anner.

Other objects and advantages will present themselves as the nature of the invention is better understood, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the im provement.

Fig. 2 is a top plan view thereof.

Fig. 3 is a sectional view approximately on the line 33 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 4e is a sectional view approximately on the line 4% of Fig. 1.

From experience I have found that a successful saw set may be made from a piece of railway rail by beveling the head at one of the ends thereof and by arranging thereon a bracket carrying the setting tool, but, of course, I do not wish to restrict my improvement to the employment of railway rails.

in the drawings the numeral 1 designates a steel l-beam which, as previously stated, preferably in the nature of a piece of railway rail. The head 2 of the beam or rail,

at one of the ends thereof is beveled down wardly and outwardly as at 3, and to the web of the rail, at the said beveled end I secure one arm 1 1-. of a bracket member. The arm 4: is preferably connected to the web by bolts and nuts, and is eater-l; of the rail end and bent upon its ise formed provide two horizontally disposed connected arms 5 and 6 respectively. The connecting element between the arms is preferably rounded, and the connecting element between the arms 4i and .3 is preferably likewise rounded. This last mentioned connection, indicated for distinction by the numeral 7 is given a half twist so that the arms 5 and 6, while arranged pa allel to each other are disposed at an angle similar to that of the beveled end 3 of the rail 1. The arms 5 and 6 are provided with registering openings through which passes the shank 9 of the setting member 10. The outer end of the member 10 is headed as at 11 and the lower end thereof is disposed directly over the beveled end 3 of the rail. Passing through the shank 9 is a stop element in the nature of a cotter pin 12, and surrounding said shank and exerting a pressure between the lower arm 5 and the cotter pin is a helical spring 13. The spring normally retains the operative end of the setting element above the seat provided with the beveled end 3 of the rail.

The head of the rail, at a suitable distance from the seat 3 is provided with a plurality of spaced round openings 1%, and the said head of the rail, from one of the sides thereof is provided with transverse threaded openings 15 which enter one each of the openings 14L. In one of the openings 14; is screwed the threaded shank of a headed element 16, and this member 16 is designed to contact with the rounded stud or shank 17 which is eccentrically secured to a round headed member 17. The headed member 17 provides a pivot for the hole in the center of the saw, so when the saw is rotated on same each tooth isbrought directly under setting member 10, and by turning said member 17 the saw may be adjusted toward or away from the seat 3 thereby giving more or less set as desired. The holes 14.- are so spaced that saws of various sizes may be set with the improvement. Band saws and other saws of uniform width may be readily set with this arrangement and by removing member 17 saws with tapering backs may also be set. i

It is thought, from he foregoingdescription, when taken in connection with the drawings, the simplicity ot the construction and the advantages thereof will be readily apparent without further detailed description.

Having thusdescribed the invention, what is claimed as new, is

1. In asaw set, a body member having a beveled end, an S-shaped bracket having av lower straight angle extension which is secured to the member to arrange its intermediate and outer arms parallel with each other and. with the beveled end of the body member, a headed setmember having a shank passing through the intermediate and outer arms of the bracket, spring means between said arms co-engaging with the shank member.

2. A saw set comprising a steel I-beam having the head thereof at one of its ends beveled to provide a seat, a bracket including an arm secured to the web of the I-beam and including upper and lower connected arms arranged parallel to each other and parallel to the seat, said upper arms having spaced openings therethrongh, a headed set member having its shank passing through the openings, a stop on the shank of the said member below the upper arm of the bracket, a spring on the said shank contacting with the stop and with the lower arm for raising the set above the seat, the head of the angle member having vertically spaced openings therein and transverse headed openings communicating with the vertical openings, a stop including a round head having an cecentric shank thereon designed to be received in one of the openings, and a binding element passing through one of the trans verse openings and contacting with said shank.

In testimony whereof I ailix my signature.
